Bangong Lake area in western margin of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is a typical part of the western syntaxis, and also is the important region of research on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau’s tectonic movement, geomorphic evolution and environmental changes since the Middle Pleistocene. The results indicate that Bangong Lake area’s faults can be divided into four groups which are nearly EW, NW, NE and NNE, in those, nearly EW is the main fault, and most of these fault basins have the features of pull-apart. Late Cenozoic stratigraphy grows in the region, particularly the Quaternary alluvial-diluvial fans and lake sediments widely distribute, which are linearly developed and controlled by the faults, and lacustrine and alluvial terraces are also developed, which indicate the period of tectonic uplift in the region.
